I love the fact that we have a President who can say, "Come on up to the White House, and we'll have a beer and discuss it." and it happens. Granted it was a big photo-op but "The Beer Summit" as it has been dubbed, is, as I see it, a momentous occasion of proletarianism in the highest office in the land. A bunch of guys sitting, and talking about everyday problems over a beer. I can't really imagine that happening with any other Presidents. Granted the reason why they were there is a rather ridiculous situation. It's true, Obama should have left well enough alone, or gotten the facts, but I do admire his willingness to speak about things that we all know in a daily occurrence. also to sit down with all the parties involved and talk about the matter. Will it end racial profiling, probably not, but it does get the idea out there, and perhaps a starting point for further discussion.

However, all I have to say is, come on Mr President, Bud Light? You're one the most powerful people in the world and you drink Bud Light? Was there really nothing else available. I always thought Obama was a PBR man. Granted I see the reason for choosing a domestic beer, (support America) but there are so many better beers than that swill. Was an micro-brew too bourgeoisie? What about a Miller, or Yuengling, or the aforementioned Pabst? I really not even that upset that it was a Budweiser. The thing that gets me was that it was a light beer. Mr. President, you're in good shape, and you're only having one, why not splurge of a few more calories, and get some better tasting beer. It could have only heightened your coolness factor.

So what's your opinion? What beer do you think Obama should have ordered? What beer would you order if you were meeting with the president?
